Radeon RX 580 vs FirePro W2100 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon RX 580 GPU is faster than the FirePro W2100 in gaming.

Our database shows that the Radeon RX 580 has a significantly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. In addition, the Radeon RX 580 also has a significantly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

In addition, the FirePro W2100 has a significantly lower TDP at 26 W when compared to the Radeon RX 580 at 185 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon RX 580 is better than the FirePro W2100.
